This Saturday the 1st XV make the short journey to Durham City for a Regional 2 North league encounter with (at the moment) the Lions who are scheduled to play Durham seconds. Both games are due to kick off at 2pm. Injuries and unavailability have caused selection headaches and it may be that insufficient numbers mean that the Lions game at Hollow Drift does not take place.
On Sunday, the Panthers entertain close rivals Rockcliff, KO at Preston Avenue is at 2pm.
There is the usual TV sports coverage in the Clubhouse bars including, of course, on Sunday Sunderland vs Newcastle Utd (KO 2pm)
